Remember Virtual Machine means it's Virtual so it's not really installed on your computer so your not using the true software or Operating System itself, your merely testing it. I don't recommend it as a replacement for other software or Operating Systems. The only other true downside to VMWare Player is it can cause your internet connection to become unstable.I recommend only installig VMWare Player for testing new things out. This is especially useful for testing software or operating systems before committing to using them.The only downsides to VMWare Player is the fact there are as many different virtual machines as you would like. You can log in, and do everything like you would if you had Ubuntu itself installed on your computer. For instance you can use Ubuntu inside VMWare player. It allows you to install different virtual machines onto you computer without installing the software itself.

If your someone who likes to try things before committing to installing them than VMWare p layer is for you. Allows You To Use Other Operating Systems In Windows.
